What this shows Silicon's Innovation Score is 45.7/100 (top 23% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Silicon?

Each dot is one of Silicon’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Silicon’s own 17.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Silicon's grants concentrate

Silicon Holding B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under B23K (Soldering OR UNSOLDERING; WELDING; Cladding OR Plating BY Soldering OR WELDING; Cutting BY Applying Heat Locally, e.g. Flame CUTTING; Working BY Laser Beam). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Silicon sits between Sichuan Honghua Petroleum Equipment Co., Ltd and Simple Works, Inc..

Silicon's three-year grant acceleration

Silicon Holding B.V. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
